Hi everyone! I’m looking for 20–40 turn-based tactics fans to help validate the core loop of my new project, Rokkaku Tactics.

The Game: A hex-grid tactical game focused on systemic gameplay built from simple mechanics (each mechanic can be explained in 1-2 sentences). You control 4 distinct and specialized characters.

What I need: I've set up Unity Analytics to track different events during gameplay, and there is a feedback form at the end. The goal would be to validate my vision: the systemic gameplay, the easy-to-understand rules, and that the game is fun.
The demo includes 30-60 minutes of gameplay.

Play here: https://runemarkstudio.itch.io/rokkaku-tactics

Number of Players: 20-30
Approximate Session Length: 30-60 min gameplay + feedback form
Testing Period: 1-2 weeks 
Other Details: We intended to create a systemic gameplay with easy to understand rules that results in an easy-to-learn hard to master type of system. 
How To Contact: we have a feedback form and a discord server (links in the game page)

If you have a game of your own, drop the link in the comments — I’m happy to swap playtests and give you detailed feedback in return!

Cool game! Very nice and unique mechanics (twin packets). Challenging and needs your full attention, especially the last level.

The hat is not separate mesh right now, sorry. 

Hey! Welcome! I'm glad you are here. :) More info will come eventually, and once in the hopefully-not-very-far future a demo too. :D

Very useful!

Hi Ezez Game, thank you for playing the demo!

Thank you for playing!

Played the demo, and I'd like to fill the survey too! I'll wait for the update. Really liked the concept and it already looks great. Music is on point too (robot sound are cute!) As others before me noted, I too, found the steering a little difficult / too sensitive when turning.

There is a Follow option here in itch.io, or you can add me on Discord if you have one. (Dotti#5347)

Thanks for sharing! A little bit more technical information would be nice in the description (movement keys, what is the aim of the game etc.) I drop this screenshot and caption to remind me to keep an eye on your project.

"When X-Bot found the curious monument in the middle of nowhere, she never expected the obelisk can be toppled so easily... and that it will bounce back, as if the gravity of this planet would mean nothing to it..."

I uploaded it, check out on the main page or the devlog section. I hope you can use it well :) and I'm also curious about your game, do you have a demo or project site I could follow?

I use Blender too! I could send you the source files if that helps.

thanks for sharing!

I uploaded the FBX, you can find it at the downloads.

Hi George, thanks for the reply! I would gladly add some of those. What do you mean by sub-objects? Like, a cactus with one main trunk and 1-2 side trunks ? 

Filled! I really enjoyed the game!

hello! Thank you for playing with the game. Thank you for the very detailed feedback as well, it helps a lot! I add it to our backlog and will sort those out with the next update.

Hi TakeruDavis, thank you for playing the game! The "single drop activation" is a problem we encountered on another level too and we need to figure it out yet. The door walking is more easy, and likely we'll fix it soon.
Thank you for your the bug report and I hope you enjoyed the rest of the game!

Hey! Yes, you are right. Sorry for that. I'll publish a new devlog soon where I explain briefly why the delay. In addition we'll soon release the game with the first world (containing 20 levels). By soon I mean this week, or on the next one. :) 

Hi! 

It's definitelly not a scam. However, I don't know why you are not able to install it. Many did before.

(sorry for the long delay, I was sick last week...)

Hi! Here is a quick update: the February devlog will be delayed due to illness :(  In the next devlog, we will reveal a couple new mechanics we experimented with: water wheels, automatic crystal switches and more! Another good news is that from now on, we'll be able to test on a Huawei device too. (However, still no iPhone available for testing yet.) Thanks for your interest in our work and for your patience!

Thanks for reporting it. I'll sort it out soon.
However. I didn't changed anything in the built version since december. The February update is just a blog post, letting you know what I'm working on right now.

More levels will come eventually, but your current problem comes from different source. 
Levels are not hidden. Please test some other game, perhaps your phone performance dropped during this time? (I mean you might installed an app that consumes a lot of resource?)

Yes, I'll do that. But don't know when right now. I have to plan my year first. :) I'll inform you all in a post soon. :)

Hey Tomppak, thanks for playing with the game. :)

Sorry fo the late answer, I was away during the holidays. The page description is perhaps a little misleading and the game has many placeholders right now. 

Level 1 is the only existing level in the game right now. In that there is 4 parts. In the page description I refer to these parts as levels, which I admit is quite misleading. Sorry for that. :)

In 2020 I'll continue to work on this game, so you will get more content for sure. :)

If you find a bug or any issue, post here!

If you want to say hi or want to talk about something, go ahead!

Super cute and addicting gameplay :) well done!

I tried to play this nice little puzzle BUT after I completed the first level, the game began to lag very much, even with lowest settings. I had to Alt+F4 because the menus won't open. It seems something eats my memory up badly.
Apart of this I like the art & concept much and would love to play.

A snake got my chick and I couldn't do anything to save the poor little thing. Besides that it is really great and heartwarming game.

Wow, looks great! I'll check out the game tomorrow! I'm glad you put them to good use.

I really enjoyed this little gem, thank you ! Spoiler alert: 

when the gorilla attacks, there is a sneaky b@stard snake coming from behind and I didn't even noticed why my health is dropping so fast!

Did you see Aki Shaqs's lowpoly characters? He/she uses a very similar style.

Dear YourZombieMop, thank you for your kind gesture, I really appreciate it.

That sounds great! I'm OK with sparse devlogs, it takes time to put together your thoughts and explain it.. Foxhunt is such a nice piece, it shows you truly care about all the important elements of a good game (looks, gameplay, story).

Hi anomalina, are you still there? :) I really enjoyed Foxhunt, and would like to hear about you. How have you been lately?

Yes, if you are creating a game, promotional video, or something similar derivative.
